Azure IP Co-sell and top tier benefits questions
justinroyal we recently qualified for IP co-sell, and our listing was successfully approved. Our listing does not have a Microsoft preferred solutions badge, as you have alluded to in your response. Could you recommend someone we can reach out to?

fabster Chris_Winstanley did you receive the 'Azure Benefit Eligible' badge that indicates your ability to decrement a customer's MACC? 'Preferred Solution' badge has been deprecated

I was also under the impression that the 'Preferred Solution' badge was no longer being used. Our solution had this badge and then it was removed and replaced with the 'Azure Benefit Eligible' badge. But I am still seeing solution in the marketplace with this badge:
Is there any way to get this back on our offering?
Thanks.
- fabsterFeb 12, 2024Copper Contributor@justinroyal We have not received the Azure Benefit Eligible badge that I am aware of. Also, we are transactional.

fabster can you try logging a support ticket through Partner Center for this?
- Chris_WinstanleyFeb 12, 2024Copper Contributor@justinroyal in our particular case we did not - but reading through your summary above, this is because our current applications on AppSource are not transactable.

fabster We achieved co-sell status around 10 months ago on the three solutions we currently have published on AppSource. Once the recommended time had elapsed, we noticed that we still hadn't received the "preferred solution" icon. I logged a call with the Support team and, after a short time, they notified me that the award process for "preferred solution" status is "under review" and no further solutions will receive the status until the review process has been completed (no timeline provided).
